Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is packed tighter than the Pentagon's missing budget. Jared breaks down how the DoD is basically playing Jenga with defense funding, while the Air Force quietly raids the Boneyard for junkyard F-16s to prop up Ukraine's air force. Meanwhile, the Space Force is out here casually “dogfighting” Chinese satellites in orbit and looking for AI to figure out where their satellites even are.Oh, and we've got a guy in a literal jetpack doing an untethered spacewalk (because apparently the 80s were WILD), the Army making a Space Ops MOS (because soldiers apparently needed another badge), and the Pentagon's latest brainstorm: drone-killing tech that's safe for civilians. Sure, buddy.Also: Israel's airport just got smoked by a Houthi missile despite US and Israeli missile defenses. And Russia? Yeah, Russia's dusting off its NATO war plans. Totally chill.

We've all heard of it, and some of us have seen the Netflix comedy series, but what exactly is the U.S. Space Force, and what do they do? We invited USSF Chief Master Sergeant John Bentivegna to the podcast to discuss the founding of Space Force, what they are charged with overseeing, their role in continuously monitoring U.S. orbital assets and possible threats to them, and their future role in guarding the space lanes. We also look at the controversy surrounding the recent Blue Origin flight with Katy Perry and other women of note, a recent explosion at a Northrop Grumman facility, and the announcement of a possible detection of life on exoplanet k2-18b! Headlines: Possible Life on Exoplanet K2-18b: Scientists have detected potential signs of life in the spectra of exoplanet K2-18b, including dimethyl sulfide, a substance produced by algae and microbes on Earth. Blue Origin's Glam Flight Controversy: The recent Blue Origin NS-31 flight, intended to promote women in STEM, sparked debate about space tourism and what defines an astronaut. Northrop Grumman Explosion: A recent explosion at Northrop Grumman's Promontory, Utah, test site destroyed a building, raising questions about the future of solid rocket motor development. Interview with Chief Master Sergeant John Bentivegna: His role in the Space Force: Chief Master Sergeant Bentivegna discusses his role as the senior enlisted member, advising on guardian development, strategy, and welfare. Career Path: Bentivegna recounts his journey from joining the Air Force in 1994 to becoming a key leader in the Space Force, highlighting his experience in space operations. Space Force Mission: He details the Space Force's core functions: assured space access, global space operations (including GPS management and space domain awareness), and space control to ensure space superiority. Space Warfighting Framework: The launch of the Space Warfighting Framework, just released this week, is discussed, emphasizing its importance for integrating and planning space operations across the joint force and clarifying the Space Force's capabilities and operational lexicon. Concerns About Threats in Space: The podcast addresses the threats posed by adversarial actions in space, such as the deployment of ASAT weapons and potential EMP attacks, and the measures the Space Force is developing to protect and defend critical space assets. Space Force and NASA Collaboration: The ongoing collaboration between the Space Force and NASA is highlighted, including the role of guardians in space exploration, research, and astronaut support. Future of Space Operations: The episode concludes with a look at the future of space operations, including the potential for a "Space Coast Guard" and the expanding role of the Space Force in lunar and cislunar activities.

Send us a textIn today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he's coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one's got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rants, and even a shoutout to F-15Es babysitting the Pacific while we wait for the F-15EXs to show up fashionably late.Oh, and that $2.1 TRILLION F-35 program? Apparently, it's just a long-term payment plan that spans 100 years. You know, like student loans—but with jet engines.China's “J-36” makes an appearance, but Jared's not buying the hype. After all, when 80% of your military tech is duct-taped IP theft, maybe don't flex so hard.And if Congress can't pass a damn budget, maybe we should shut it all down and hard reset this clown show.You didn't ask for this dose of snark, sarcasm, and space-fueled doomscrolling—but here it is.

As today's show begins, Vice President JD Vance has just landed at a US Space Force outpost in Greenland near the Arctic Circle. The government in Greenland wants no part in this visit, so it's taking place at the military base 1,000 miles from the capital of Nuuk. Meanwhile in Washington, President Trump spoke with new Canadian leader Mark Carney this morning, a day after Carney declared his relationship with the US "broken." But Trump characterized the call as "extremely productive."    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Lebanon ceasefire "An unprecedented Israeli air strike hit south Beirut, marking the first such attack since the ceasefire reached in November with Hezbollah. Lebanese officials confirmed the strike. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to ""strike everywhere"" in Lebanon against perceived threats, signaling a shift in strategy. Meanwhile, Hamas spokesperson Basem Naim reported growing momentum in Gaza ceasefire negotiations with mediators, despite Israel's ongoing attacks in the Palestinian enclave." US judge blocks Ozturk's deportation after visa revocation "Massachusetts federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of Turkish-born Tufts University doctoral student, Rumeysa Ozturk, pending a ruling on her petition challenging the removal. The decision, made by US District Judge Denise Casper, halts her removal until at least April 1, while the court reviews jurisdiction concerns. Ozturk was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement near her Somerville home for criticising Israel in her academic work. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed her visa revocation, citing her activism but providing no evidence of violence." Myanmar earthquake death toll tops 1,000 "A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has claimed 1,002 lives, with more than 2,000 wounded, according to the country's military government. The quake, which struck near Sagaing, caused widespread destruction, particularly in Mandalay. A state of emergency is in effect across six regions. As international aid begins to arrive, China has deployed a rescue team, with both Russia and the US offering assistance. The disaster also affected neighbouring Thailand, heightening concerns across the region." VP Vance calls for stronger US leadership in Arctic "US Vice President JD Vance stressed the importance of American leadership in the Arctic during a visit to Greenland, warning that inaction could leave the region vulnerable to rivals like Russia and China. Speaking at a US Space Force base in Greenland's Pituffik, Vance emphasised the need to strengthen Arctic security, criticising European allies, particularly Denmark, saying they haven't done a good job. He also stressed the significance of the US's presence in Greenland, highlighting its crucial role in national security and urging Greenlanders to consider a partnership with the US for enhanced security and economic benefits." Elon Musk's xAI buys his X platform "Elon Musk has announced that his AI startup, xAI, has officially acquired X—formerly known as Twitter—for $33 billion in an all-stock deal, valuing the combined entity at $80 billion. Musk touts the merger as a leap toward ""accelerating human progress,"" intertwining xAI's AI prowess with X's vast user base. The acquisition follows Musk's controversial 2022 purchase of Twitter, which was marked by workforce cuts and advertiser exodus. Notably, banks recently offloaded $12 billion in X's debt amid renewed investor interest in AI and the platform's improved performance."

//The Wire//2200Z October 23, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TERROR ATTACK STRIKES TURKEY. JOURNALIST WOUNDED AT CAMPAIGN EVENT IN MISSOURI.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Turkey: A terror attack was conducted this morning at the Turkish Aerospace Industries complex in Ankara. Multiple gunmen assaulted the industrial facility this morning with small arms and hand grenades. Early this morning, it was reported that hostages had been taken by the assailants, who were holding employees of the facility for unknown purposes. So far 5x fatalities have been reported, along with around a dozen wounded. AC: This attack was likely planned to coincide with President Erdoğan's arrival in Russia for the BRICS summit, which occurred just a few hours before the attack began. Most Turkish media is blaming the attack on PKK militants, which is likely considering the long-standing historical conflict between Turkey and the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq.Of note, immediately after the attack, most social media was cut throughout Turkey. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and YouTube were all immediately restricted, probably to prevent footage of the attacks from circulating. This is yet another reminder that in some nations, censorship is the knee-jerk reaction to any major event. This further complicates the situation, and prevents citizens from knowing if the threats are isolated, or part of a more coordinated attack. This is a very important consideration to remember, as a citizenry might only get notification of a single event occurring…because follow-on attacks will likely take place under a blanket of censorship. For now, this attack appears to be an isolated event in Turkey, though time will tell if other attacks take place in the near future.-HomeFront-United States: Boeing continues to experience setbacks in the form of equipment failure in space. Boeing's IS-33e communications satellite catastrophically exploded a few days ago. The US Space Force is tracking the debris field, which largely consists of approximately twenty pieces of debris. No word has been provided yet regarding what caused the satellite to explode in orbit. AC: Satellite failures are more common than one might think, however one exploding in orbit is quite rare. As with most critical infrastructure failures within the United States, discerning whether an incident was the result of incompetence or malice remains challenging. While most will be quick to assign blame to Boeing with regards to Boeing's long history of shoddy workmanship, one would do well to remember that a new form of ‘space race' has been underway for years, with most major power-players around the world attempting to develop weapons for use in targeting adversarial satellites. So far, no indications are present that this explosion might have been the result of a hostile act, however an investigation into this incident will surely examine this possibility.Missouri: The Democratic candidate running for Senate, Lucas Kunce, accidentally shot a local journalist during a campaign event. KSHB-TV journalist Ryan Gamboa was hit in the arm (suffering non-life-threatening injuries) via what was likely spalling and/or a ricochet from the targets used during a “range day” campaign event. As inadequate medical care was provided for the wounded journalist at the scene, Gamboa was transported to a local hospital for actual care.AC: The observations regarding this event are numerous and vivid. Though the incalculable safety violations at this event make determining a cause for this incident challenging, this casualty was almost certainly caused due to the event participants engaging steel targets with rifles at very close distance. Steel targets are only used at considerable range with rifles, as the risk of ricochet and/or spalling is too great at close range.Somewhat ironically, a bystander receiving

This week on The Feds, Vice-President Cameron Hamilton speaks with Matthew Lohmeier about the overt politicization of our Military and the Federal Government's propensity to assume anti-liberty positions due to a culture of intrusion.  Lt Col Matthew Lohmeier, USAF fighter pilot and a former space-based missile warning squadron commander with the US Space Force, is a public speaker, consultant, and author of a bestselling book. He currently serves as the Executive Vice President of STARRS, an organization of US military veterans and citizens concerned about the divisive racist and radical CRT/DEI/Woke ideology and agenda infiltrating the military. They seek to expose, stand up against, and eliminate it in order to keep our country safe. Matt's book Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military was published in May 2021, at which time he was a respected active-duty commander in the newly formed US Space Force.

If you saw the movie "Gravity," you have a sense of the dangers of orbital debris—and the risk is very real. More than 25,000 objects over four inches in diameter are tracked by the US Space Force, and millions of others are smaller or untracked—everything from derelict satellites to dead rocket stages to bits of shrapnel and even just chunks of frozen rocket fuel is there. And even something the size and mass of a paint chip, traveling at orbital speeds, can take out a window of a spacecraft. We're joined by Dr. John Crassidis from the University of Buffalo, an expert in orbital debris and its dangers. Look out below; this is going to be a hot one!
